thats how we usually plan our trips, just what days we're going to each park

I am mostly asking because it is a first trip and we want to see as much as possible...Not to mention go to the parks when they May be less crowded...

Looks pretty good. Just a couple of suggestions:
1. If you have picky eaters, you might wants PS's as most places that require PS have better food - without those you'll be eating hamburgers and sandwiches all wekk.
2. Also, just as a guide, you might want to make a list of which things are "must see's" in each park you're visiting, just to be sure you see everything you really wanted to. You don't have to make a timed schedule or anything.

I hope you have a wonderful trip!

Burgers are probably better for them anyway...And I am ok with that. I've got the list of Must do's

Actually, your plan looks just like the ones we make. We pick a specific park for each day, but we do make priority seatings. Since you're staying offsite, it's good that you're avoiding the EMH days.

And I'm glad you're going to Epcot in the evening-- you'll get to see Illuminations, my personal favorite thing in all of WDW.

Am I missing something? Why do you have a 7 day hopper pass when you are only going to the parks for 6 days? You don't need a pass for DTD. And unless you are diehard swimmers and can't get enough of chlorinated water, I'd pass on either BB or TL in order to have more time in the parks. There is so much more to see than you realize. The World of Disney is roughly the size of Manhattan. (about 50 square miles) You will get a lot more accomplished if you skip one of the water parks and concentrate on doing an early morning at one of the theme parks. You've spent a lot of money on your tickets, but you're only getting half a day's use out of them. Just my humble opinion.

I think you should allow more time for MK but that's just my opinion.

I also think I'd book at least one character buffet to get the experience unless you've already done it in the past.

I'd also arrange it so you use all 7 days on your park passes, instead of 6 days. I'd probably go to a park that first day.
